#CoronavirusFS: Health steps in as workers down tools | News Article

The Free State Health department has intervened at the Free State Psychiatric Complex in Bloemfontein after workers downed tools on Monday.


They accused the department – at the centre of fighting Covid-19 in the province – of not adhering to the appropriate protocols.

This followed after media reports indicated that at least 19 patients and 15 workers – including nurses at the hospital - have tested positive.

Provincial Spokesperson Mondli Mvambi says they started talks with all the unions representing workers.
